Tyrese Haliburton. James Jones’ biggest mistake.

I wish I could mark it 'liked' 100 times...

Let's be real. The biggest "what if" is using the only #1 pick in franchise history on the wrong player.

Too bad none of us ever came up with the idea of picking up another quality point guard sometime over the last two seasons.....

Okay, hear me out on this. I am thinking that maybe we want to play Shamet instead of Payne at the point. Payne was awful in the past few games, chucking bad shots, not moving the ball well, playing bad panicky defense. I think he was a -16 in Game 2.

I think that even though Shamet has been bad at his shooting lately, it's no worse than Payne's. And Shamet's willingness to pass, his defense, and overall bbiq are better than Payne's. So I reluctantly think we should play Shamet more than Payne in Game 3. If we want a microwavey combo guard, let's play Lee.

I know I've lost people before on this train of thought, but I think I'd start Booker, Okogie, KD, Ayton, and Landale. Just go super big. Booker, Okogie, and KD can handle bringing the ball up the court well enough. I think Ayton is good enough at defending the perimeter and honestly, if he's just going to take 15-footers anyways, he can get those from the PF position. Let Landale and Bismack bother Jokic and take the early fouls. When Jokic sits, we could go small with Craig, maybe play some KD at the 5. Get Ross and TJ some minutes to spread out the offensive load.

Anyways, just my crazy idea that will probably never be implemented.

Well, if you mean winning the coin flip in 1969 and selecting Lew Alcindor, you're right.

Makes a more fair battle. Wouldn't be right to surprise them like that. Gotta win fair and square.
